Home internet benefits with TELUS?

santanud — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 23:31:33 GMT

Does having a mobile phone connection with Public Mobile have any benefits with TELUS home internet (since they are the same network)? Are there any other home internet providers that incentivize Public Mobile users? (Asking from Calgary, Alberta).

@santanud

There are no other discounts with other Telus services if you are a PM customer.

Even though they are a subsidiary of Telus, they tend to operate each brand separately. Though sometimes they offer migration deals to boost ARPU, they seem to rarely do that anymore.

Hi @santanud No, Telus owns PM but PM operates pretty independently

If you have Telus at home , check with them, maybe they have some good deals. Plans in PM is likely still cheaper but you will enjoy a single bill and no need to worry any Autopay failure. LoL

Telus will only give a $10/month discount on their bundle package if you are on Telus or Koodo cell plans.

Unfortunately, not on their lower tier cell plans.

No. Although we discovered that if you have a telus cell phone originally with WiFi calling enabled you may be able to enjoy WiFi calling on your phone....even without active service. That's YMMV though.

Yeah **bleep** shame, there were some good ones that would pop up every now and then

@JL9 Yes, I wish I could travel back in time and joined PM before they offered the 8 GB for $40 Koodo migration plan, that would be a SWEET plan to have! RFD went crazy for that plan, lol.

I think many of those plans they are raising in price without much notice, that's why I'm back from a Koodo deal.

Yeah, so it seems. Thanks @LeePublic

That's right. It seems not worth much to migrate to Koodo from PM (to get the TELUS home internet benefit), for some meagre aggregate saving, given PM is a really great phone connection option to be traded with. Thanks @BKNS27
